Change your Microsoft 365 subscription billing frequency

When you buy a Microsoft 365 for business subscription, you select a billing frequency. You can change how often you're billed for your subscription in the Microsoft 365 admin center.

Before you begin

  • Find out what type of billing account you have.

  • You must have a Microsoft Online Services Agreement (MOSA) billing account type and be a Global Administrator to do the task in this article.

    Caution

    Global Administrators have almost unlimited access to your organization's settings and most of its data. To help keep your organization secure, we recommend that you limit the number of Global Administrators as much as possible.

  • If you have a Microsoft Customer Agreement (MCA) billing account type, you can only change the billing frequency when you buy, upgrade, or renew a subscription.

Change your billing frequency

  1. Go to the Microsoft 365 admin center.
    • If you're using the Simplified view, select Subscriptions.
    • If you're using the Dashboard view, go to the Billing> Your products page.
  2. Select the subscription that you want to manage.
  3. On the subscription details page, in the Subscription and payment settings section, select Edit billing frequency.
  4. In the Edit billing frequency pane, choose either Pay monthly or Pay yearly, then select Change.
